摘要

Abstract Identification of gene expression changes that promote focal neuronal death and neurological dysfunction can further our understanding of the pathophysiology of these disease states and could lead to new pharmacological and molecular therapies. Impairment of oxidative metabolism is a pathogenetic mechanism underlying neuronal death in many chronic neurodegenerative diseases as well as in Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), a disorder induced by thiamine deficiency (TD). To identify functional pathways that lead to neuronal damage in this disorder, we have examined gene expression changes in the vulnerable thalamus and inferior colliculus of TD rats using Affymetrix Rat Genome GeneChip analysis in combination with gene ontology and functional categorization assessment utilizing the NetAffx GO Mining Tool. Of the 15 927 transcripts analysed, 125 in thalamus and 141 in inferior colliculus were more abundantly expressed in TD rats compared with control animals. In both regions, the major functional categories of transcripts that were increased in abundance after TD were those associated with inflammation ( approximately 33%), stress ( approximately 20%), cell death and repair ( approximately 26%), and metabolic perturbation ( approximately 19%), together constituting approximately 98% of all transcripts up-regulated. These changes occurred against a background of neuronal cell loss and reactive astro- and microgliosis in both structures. Our results indicate that (i) TD produces changes in gene expression that are consistent with the observed dysfunction and pathology, and (ii) similar alterations in expression occur in thalamus and inferior colliculus, brain regions previously considered to differ in pathology. These findings provide important new insight into processes responsible for lesion development in TD, and possibly WE.
